    Did op change the title? That’s pretty much what it says right now

        I’ve personally only heard “honking the horn” (like as in “honk if you’re horny”) here in the US. In fact personally when I read “beep” I think of sharp, bright, high-pitched, electronic sounds, like that are so common inside of modern cars, but sure I guess I can see where you got confused.

        By this same grace though, I wouldn’t call someone a misleading dick over onomatopoeia. If you tell me what word op should’ve used I’ll tell you why your choice is ambiguous too

          “new bill requires vehicles to alert their drivers when…etc”

          notice the lack of type of notification? and specifying who is notifying whom? It isn’t difficult to not be a misleading dick.

          next you’re going to tell me that people in the USA don’t have blinkers to indicate proposed turning direction.

          Heh. blinkers.

          It’s like going to the bathroom in a shopping centre. Like there’s actually a bathroom and not just a xitter or toilet.
